Elder Merkley goes to MTC

Today was the day. Elder Merkley went off to become a for-real Servant of the Lord. I am REALLY looking forward to his letters full of his adventures... assuming we get any... which I really hope we do.

And with that news, here's a bit of a recap of his departure.
WARNING: This little video might make you cry.

I didn't shed a single tear during his drop-off, but making this video made the emotion catch up with me a bit, just watching it.

Enjoy. Reflect. Remember. And for some of you, know this is what you have to look forward to in just a few months time.
